Attractive stone house set in mature gardens surrounded by gorgeous countryside. Less than a mile to the local pub, serving great food and local ales. Close to the Lake District and the coast.
Surround yourself in country views at this period property in Grizebeck on the edge of the Lake District National Park. Dating back to 1886, this gorgeous stone cottage is tastefully styled and overflowing with character. Sleeping eight guests across five stylish bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s the perfect rural bolthole for families or groups of friends who want to immerse themselves in some of England’s finest landscapes. Spend your days kayaking or paddle-boarding at Coniston Water, and your evenings sipping wine by the wood burner in the summer house at the bottom of the garden.
Step inside and kick off your hiking boots in the porch, where there’s plenty of storage space for all of your outdoor gear. Stroll through to the country-style kitchen/dining area and rustle up a feast for your loved ones. Host a dinner party to remember in the formal dining room and then head out onto the patio for a glass of wine. Alternatively, pull up a seat by the wood burner in the summer house (please note that the summer house will not be furnished until spring 2022), or grab a cosy seat by the wood burner in the lounge. When it’s time for bed you’ll find two stylish bedrooms on the ground-floor and three more upstairs. In the morning, enjoy your freshly-brewed coffee as you watch the birds from the stylish conservatory.
Get the whole gang together for a day of water sport adventure at Coniston Water (7 miles) or Windermere (12 miles). Alternatively, discover one of England’s few remaining peatland habitats at Duddon Mosses Nature Reserve (1 mile), where you may be lucky enough to spot deer and barn owls. Or head into Ulverston (7 miles) to see molten glass being transformed into spectacular works of art at the Lakes Glass Centre.
